Summary

Moses Elias Levy (1782-1854) was one of the antebellum South's most influential and interesting Jewish citizens. Only recently, however, have historians begun to appreciate his role as a social activist. C. S. Monaco discovered Levy's Plan for the Abolition of Slavery in the late 1990s, and now, in the first full-scale biography of Levy, Monaco completes the picture of his life and work.

Author Biography

C. S. Monaco is pursuing a doctorate in history from Oxford Brookes University in England
